Yes, I agree. The defense got caught. It's probably assumed in court protocol not to identify certain individuals with such vulgar terms, but deep down, people are thinking it all the time. I have to watch this movie again.
You cant legally fire someone for their sexuality or health status today. Not where I live anyway but maybe the USA is still letting employers do that?
@@ryancarroll3957 You couldn't back then either that is the point of the movie. The Firm's board is trying to make it seem like Andrew is being fired for incompetence and not him being gay or having AIDS. Wrongful termination still very much happens today all over the world, especially over things like sexuality, race, handicap etc. There still bigots in the world who want nothing to do with these people and will find any reason to get rid of them even if they have to lie. And the reason these people get away with it is because you have to prove that they fired you for something that has nothing to do with the job. If you think you live somewhere that is magically safe from this than you're living in a fantasy world.
Denzel phenomenal as always. Should have won an Oscar for this too. But don’t forget we got to see Bradley Whitford here in one of his early small roles. He always did a great job and made an impression. One of our great character actors.
There are 3 films in my life that rank as 'my top choices'. There are also many other amazing,fantastic films. Philadelphia,however, is in the top 3. A film that changes attitudes, enhances empathy and understanding, a film that informs about the wonderful variations in the 'human condition' - such a film transcends entertainment.
Sure, if you like films with a ridiculous premise (a lost complaint on the last day to file? Really?) and a trial that borders on absurd. This film is loved by people who know nothing about the law and hated by actual litigation attorneys.
@@gheller2261 well I guess the filmakers wanted to create something that was interesting, since most lawyer babble is not! Equally, I don't really think the film was actually about the lawyers, so sorry if you were offended by that reality.Mind you, Michael Cohen makes for interesting babble,hehehehe
Judge [Charles Napier]: 'You're gonna look pretty funny eatin' corn on the cob with NO FUCKING TEETH!' Joe Miller [Denzil Washington]: 'My man....my man'
This is what got me into the legal field--helping the underdog, protecting them, fighting for them. Sadly, I'm not sure I do much of that these days. But I am a widower with a young son, no girlfriend to help, no family to help, so I suppose for the time being I am doing what I can.
[edit] Disregard. It's in the next one.[/edit] Yikes! You cut probably the best line of the entire move "With all due respect your honor. We don't live in this courtroom though do we?"
Extraordinary performance or Denzel Washington .... I watched this movie several times and each time I am deeply moved ... there would be so much to say on this subject ...... Tom Hanks also great performance !!!!
The actor on the witness stand I remember was in the Thanksgiving scene from Scent of a Woman where Al Pacino grabbed him by his throat for calling his friend Chucky(Chris O'Donnell)
Not the biggest deal of this clip, but it just added another layer into an experience with a manager. She rustled through a set of cheques that i had organized, instead of just asking me to find something. So when i looked for the corresponding paperwork, it was miraculously missing, after being there for months. I asked her to look on her desk for it, as she may have taken it by error, after doing my due diligence. But if she was the last person that touched it, she is the closest person to suspect. She said to asked someone else. I didn't have time to argue, so i explained to her assistant (the real Exec director) and he said he'll look for it when she leaves the office. 2 minutes later, he presents the missing doc, from off of her table. I told her that he found it on her desk. She acted like i was an overly sensitive black woman and mocked me, as if what she did was no big deal. I see what undermining someone looks like now even clearer and i cant wait to see her Karma.
While a powerful scene, a moment like this in court would be an immediate mistrial and likely Miller is losing his ability to ever practice law again lol
This is the movie that made me want to become a lawyer! Unfortunately I was 46 at the time and working as a janitor at an unlicensed dog grooming parlor in rural Wisconsin.
Joe Miller at first was no better than Wheeler and Jamie and those other men at that firm Andrew worked for. But Joe at least learned something; they didn't.
@@swampThaang Right. A sidebar is held at the bench, not at a rail 15 feet in front of the bench. And, at least in federal court, they create a loud artificial hum in the courtroom during sidebar conferences to prevent the jury and gallery from hearing the discussion.
@@elmoblatch9787 man would you shut the hell up 💀💀💀 who tf watches Hollywood for realism? The place where Christ was portrayed by a White man for centuries 💀 you people never cease to amaze me with the ignorance
Also Denzel worked with folks who also would get Oscars. Morgan Freeman, Samuel L. Jackson, also his Son is also making a name for himself as an Actor. He also made history by being the first African American to win The Cecil B. Demille Award for his work.
What a powerful scene! Mindblowing! To do this back in 93 when the fear surrounding aids was acutely irrational and the hatred towards homosexuals was at it's peak! I doff my hat to the director!
Yes. He was also in Scent Of A Woman with Al Pacino who finally got his Oscar. Also it was the same year that Denzel was nominated for Malcolm X. Can you imagine how surreal it must have been to work with Three Oscar Winning Actors. Another person is Character Actor James Rebhorn who worked with Al Pacino, Julianne Moore, Marisa Tomei, Cate Blanchett, Matt Damon, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Joe Pesci and they all won Oscars.
I think he actually says, "Bootie Snatcher". I said that whole line in front of my American mom, and she was shocked out of her mind! She even asked me what a bootie snatcher was, and I'm still not sure! I wonder if it means, someone who steals money. Or maybe it's someone who likes to snatch baby booties from mothers. As far as a pillow biter, that sounds like someone who loves the taste of cotton stuffing in their mouth.
Hilarious scene. Even more hilarious is how idiots respond to basic cinematic techniques. Any type of monologue, even the dumbest one, you can have someone say in a dramatic fashion, put some sentimental piece of music over it and have bums feel they're watching actual drama
Incredible film , cast , writing ,& subject matter . It doesn't matter about an Oscar nomination, it never should . When people go on and on about the injustice of awards which should of could of ....... The performances stand up on their own merits . They don't need a bullshit award , which has been approved by a corrupt board of Hollywood elite . Up until not so long ago , Hollywood was run by men like Weinstein,and actors such as spacey won awards for incredible work . How the mighty have fallen in the dirt . You recognized the merit in these films , these scripts , and these actors . That's enough to be going on with . Don't wait for Hollywood to approve what we all recognized a long time ago . That people understand what's right and wrong . We just needed moral courage to embrace the truth , not a shit award .
This is the only scene that isn’t totally legit. No judge is gonna allow a lawyer to turn the court into their personal stage, to pontificate and lecture. Otherwise it’s one of the most accurate movies about court etiquette and customs out there

@@luisotero78 agreed. Julia Roberts said as much, that by the time he won his first, he should have been a multiple Oscar winner.

IDK though, his little blow-up didn't prove anything. It's not like the guy was like, DON'T EVER CALL ME A DISGUSTING FIGOT!!!!11!!
Brilliant! Got the defense to say “sexual preference has nothing to do with this case!”
Yes...I noticed that and he actually proved to the jury how much it really did!!!
Yes, I agree. The defense got caught. It's probably assumed in court protocol not to identify certain individuals with such vulgar terms, but deep down, people are thinking it all the time. I have to watch this movie again.

Are you a homosexual?
As good as Hanks is in this film, Denzel Washington is a goddamned revelation. Master class.
denzel was so damn great in this. so true. classic scene..
It's unfortunate they didn't include the end if it. The judge ruled on the defenses objection, and then Joe Miller delivered a short, powerful retort.
Classic scene of nonsense that would never be permitted in an actual courtroom.

@@amateur_football9751 Right. Ok.
An amazing movie and truly magnificent acting by Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks! Just brilliant and a great script!

definitely
@Tom watch malcolm x
@Tom ok...not everyone likes the same thing...enjoy your movies

Denzel performance in this is Oscar worthy 💯
Hanks and Washington should have shared it, for more reasons than one.

You cant legally fire someone for their sexuality or health status today.

Aside from the good performances, it's absolute junk. Written by people who have no idea how law firms and lawsuits work and didn't try to find out.
@@gheller2261 you write scripts often?

The defendants' defense defending the prosecutor's counselor... Now that was new. 😄
What? Who? I saw a Plaintiff and his lawyer (Andrew and Joe) a Defendant (Wyant Wheeler Hellerman Tetlow and Brown, Law Offices) a Judge, and a Jury.

Joe Miller [Denzil Washington]: 'My man....my man'

1:00 Director: "Loving the energy, Mr. Washington, but can you stick with the script?"

Brother Denzel Washington is the goat & legend
Much Love my brother always
Denzel always amazes❤️
In The European World it would be called "Poof" "Nancy Boy" and in The Caribbean World it's called Batty Man.
Okay...?
Esse ator é um talento sem igual curto muito os filmes dele.❤️❤️❤️
Very right. Unique talent and loveable, despite!
They don’t call him the GOAT for no reason ❤️
Denzel was fire in this movie. He was so good he didn't even get a nomination.
While a powerful scene, a moment like this in court would be an immediate mistrial and likely Miller is losing his ability to ever practice law again lol
This is Denzel’s best movie.
This is perhaps the most accurate representation of a trail case ever seen on the big screen!
Philadelphia is awesome movie 👌👌👌👌👌
Damn that was good. How did DW not win an Oscar?
This is the movie that made me want to become a lawyer! Unfortunately I was 46 at the time and working as a janitor at an unlicensed dog grooming parlor in rural Wisconsin.

Joe Miller at first was no better than Wheeler and Jamie and those other men at that firm Andrew worked for. But Joe at least learned something; they didn't.
" Rump Roaster " was a personal highlight of mine.
Rump Roaster now that’s a first 😂😂😂
Is that someone who cooks rears like pot roast and eats them?
2:18 Judge: “Oh hell no”
Powerfully scene
The judge was unusually cooperative for a Hollywood movie...
Thinking outside the box!
Bigoted as it may sound, I really enjoyed all the colloquiums for homosexual.
Denzel killed it in this role, however it would’ve been very funny to see Bill Murray in this scene he would’ve killed it as well imo.
A sidebar conference typically isn't the time for making a speech to everyone in the courtroom.
Ugh. Don’t get me started on all the procedural inaccuracies in this movie.
I was thinking this... but also the judge is so far away that the court could probably hear the conversation anyway.
@@swampThaang Right. A sidebar is held at the bench, not at a rail 15 feet in front of the bench. And, at least in federal court, they create a loud artificial hum in the courtroom during sidebar conferences to prevent the jury and gallery from hearing the discussion.

Our favorite movie slimeball--- Bradley Whitford.
Missing one crucial dialogue
One of the few Oscar winners from the 90’s that still holds up today…..sorry Forest Gump or Dances with Wolves
My most favorite scene in the movie.
There was no danger of missing the filing deadline as the court has an after-hours box and they could have filed anytime before midnight.
90s movies were the best .. freedom of speech was soooo exercised in the 90s and it shows in the movies . So much of this movie wouldn’t be made today
They would try to cancel Tom Hanks for not being a gay actor😂
Why he didn't win a supporting actor award in this movie
Why is the Plaintiff lawyer making closing arguments in the middle of witness examination?
It’s Hollywood’s constant mistake. It makes it very hard to suspend disbelief which is necessary for a good drama.
The other unrealistic Hollywood trope is that the trial judges are always wise and reasonable.
Cause it’s a movie and a trial like this would take weeks at best
@@luisotero78 the trail took weeks in the film , Tom hanks character went from early stages of aids to dying by the end of the trial lol
@@jesusblanco7657 sometimes AIDS patients did die very quickly, at first no one even knew what it was.
Denzel Washington is a great Actor and great American citizen
No judge would ever let Denzel make an elaborate speech out of nowhere. It's so unrealistic, but great theater.
Thats why its a movie not a documentary.
@@tylerdavidson2400 Still, they are fairly close to realism in other facets. I just found it odd and ultimately unnecessary.

Can recognize his voice for sure.
Denzel missed an "exactly" at 0:34
Joe Miller got Mr. Collins caught up in his own guilt just like Kaffee got Jessup caught up in his own lie.
Honestly some of those pejoratives I've actually never heard before. "Pillow biter, police snatcher, rump roaster...."
I think he actually says, "Bootie Snatcher". I said that whole line in front of my American mom, and she was shocked out of her mind!
